Anthony
It was two weeks and three days since I got my license and was able to drive on my own. It was a terrific feeling, being independent in that way.
I was pulling out of the school car park with a smile on my face when I noticed that kid Ian, all alone, meandering around the bus stop. He caught my eye, but I quickly looked away. I didn’t want to talk to him. I didn’t want to be pulled into the teasing he got.
“Hey!”
Crap, they’d closed the bus gate.
“Hey you!”
I had to turn around.
“Hello!”
And look at Ian again.
“HEY ANTHONY!”
-Thunk-
He’d thrown his hands onto the bonnet of my car. I squinted and sighed before tilting my head out of the window.
“Hey Ian…what’s up?”
“Can you give me a ride home?”
He looked really distressed but I didn’t want to waste my time dropping him off.
“Can’t you walk home?” I asked.
“I live too far away,” he answered.
“Well, can’t you take the bus?”
“The school busses are all gone and the next public bus doesn’t come for another 45 minutes.”
I sighed. I had to. He was going to be left alone with his bullies otherwise.
“Get in,” I said.
He jumped into the passenger seat and thanked me a hundred times before we took off. He gave me instructions to his house but the car soon fell silent again.
“So…how’s life Anthony?” He asked.
“Good…pretty fine.” I answered, “And what about you? I mean, I see you’ve survived since sixth grade.”
“Barely,” he half-laughed.
I looked over at him for a second. He was all dishevelled and pale with dark circles surrounding his eyes. And he was wearing a hoodie.
“God, dude! Are you wearing a hoodie? It’s like, 85 degrees right now! Aren’t you frying?”
“No, I’m fine,” He replied, crossing his arms.
I laughed, causing him to laugh, and before we knew it we were deep in conversation about the stupidest things. I turned onto his street and sighed.
“Thanks for the ride home,” he said.
“It’s alright. If you ever need a ride just call me,” I said.
Who cares if I’m friends with Ian. That doesn’t change things. I’m still me.
A/N So I want to continue this and I've written more, but I'm not happy with it so it might be a while before I update. I hope everyone's enjoying so far :)

FanfictionIan and Anthony are different. They're not the creative duo you know today. Ian is all alone and constantly bullied. Anthony isn't very well liked, but at least people leave him alone. It's just lucky that differences bring the pair together. Okay...
